Football System: Penalty Zone Hero

Even those who were optimistic about Chen Yingxiong probably never thought that this would happen - in his first league match for Zenit's first team, his first shot opened the opponent's goal...

If someone had said this to Advocaat before the game, he would have thought that person was crazy.

But now, such a crazy scene appeared right before his eyes!

"Oh my God..." His assistant coach, the Dutch old man Porter, was holding his head in his hands, groaning with an incredilous expression on his face.

…

"The ball...the ball goes in--!!" Sergeyevsky was stunned for a moment and then shouted.

At this time, he began to curse his colleague who were responsible for collecting information in his heart... Damn it! Who was this No. 99? Why did he appear on the list of Zenit's first team? Why did the news media never report on him before? It stands to reason that introducing a Chinese player would definitely not escape the attention of the media...

What else can I do now except yell "GOAL!" like an idiot? Damn it!

After shouting "The ball goes in—", Sergeyevsky immediately took a deep breath and continued to shout: "The ball—goes—in! The ball goes in! The ball goes in! The ball! Goes! In!—!"

TV viewers who were familiar with Sergeyevsky were shocked by his passionate performance. You know, Sergeyevsky was not the kind of commentator who liked to roar and show his passion. His commentary after the goal was also very bland. Many people don't like him because they thought he was too unenthusiastic.

Who would have thought that today he would break these patterns for a strange Chinese boy?

…

When Chen Yingxiong kicked the ball into the goal, the Zenit fans in the stands jumped up from their seats, opened their arms and shouted.

"Hurrah!"

Yesenin did not stand up to join the fans in shouting "Long live the team". He still had a smile on his face. He was laughing at Chen Yingxiong's celebration after scoring the goal - this guy must have been upset about the cold shoulder he received when he entered the stadium before, and now he finally found a chance to vent his emotions. Ha!

…

Chen Yingxiong, who had fully displayed his name in front of the camera, was facing his teammates who were swarming towards him.

Arshavin rushed over and hugged Chen Yingxiong - he was closest to Yingxiong.

"Well done!" He patted Chen Yingxiong's shoulder vigorously. Although it was Chen Yingxiong who scored the goal, he was also happy because... he had an extra assist!

Arshavin was not the kind of player who liked to shoot and score, even though he had the ability to do so. He preferred to pass the ball to teammates in a better position after breaking through, giving them the opportunity.

Therefore, he didn't score many goals in Zenit, but he made a lot of assists.

No one would disagree with him being the core of Zenit, because everyone knew that this selfless person deserved this position.

The other teammates also rushed over and surrounded Chen Yingxiong.

"Well done, boy!"

"That's incredible! This is your first competition!"

"Actually, Shava passed the ball up, and when I saw Hero following up in the middle, I knew it was a winner! Haha!"

"Good! You have fully demonstrated your training skills! Let them see your Flames of Youth!"

Everyone congratulated Chen Yingxiong for scoring the first goal for the team.

Chen Yingxiong just kept laughing, as if he hadn't fully processed it yet.

…

When Zenit players were celebrating the goal, the media seats at Kirov Stadium were already in an uproar.

"Hurry! I need to know the detailed information of Zenit Site 99! ​​What? No... no?! How could there be none? I don't care, go find it! You must find it!" A reporter was calling his unit and asking them to collect all the information about Chen Yingxiong.

"...Do you know who he is? If you don't hurry up, we'll have to quote other people's reports!"

"…He just scored a goal! A player who made his debut scored a goal. Even if you are dumb, you know what this means, right?"

"One goal makes you famous! One goal makes you famous!"

"Damn it! I only know his number, name, height, weight... What's the use? I need to know where he is from. Why did he come to Zenit!"

"An Oriental? Is he Korean?" A group of Korean reporters gathered together to discuss.

"I've never seen him among the Korean football players..."

"Maybe it's a Korean immigrant? There are also some of us in Russia, right?

"No matter what, if he is really our player, this is undoubtedly a great discovery! Hurry up and inform the domestic media! We must not miss such an opportunity!"

…

Sergeyevsky got tired of shouting "Goal" all the time, so he could only bite the bullet and say some nonsense. "This is the first goal scored by player No. 99 Hero in this game! It's also his... it's also his first goal for Zenit! He scored in his first appearance, what a good start..."

He turned off the microphone again and roared at the director. "Information!!"

The momentum was just like when he shouted "Goal" just now...

On the other side of the soundproof glass wall, everyone was busy.

…

After Chen Yingxiong and his teammates celebrated the goal, the on-site broadcast also came to its senses.

"The 29th minute of the game! The score is 1:0!"

There was a cheer from the stands.

"The leader is——"

"Blue, white and blue! Blue, white and blue!!" the fans chanted Zenit's nickname.

"The goal scorer…Heroooooooooooooooooooooo——Chen!!!"

"Hurra!!"

This time, when the live broadcast announced Chen Yingxiong's name, he heard loud cheers.

He raised his arm high, clenched it into a fist, and greeted the live broadcast and the fans in the stands.

…

Looking at the figure in the audience who raised his fist to greet everyone, Yesenin laughed.

You're on the right track, Hero. Just keep going!

…

After Chen Yingxiong scored, Zenit's bench cheered. Advocaat even jumped up.

In fact, as the head coach, he was under tremendous pressure from arranging a novice rookie who had never played in the professional league before and had just been promoted to the first team two weeks ago.

Now, Chen Yingxiong has repaid his trust in him by scoring a goal.

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Well done, Hero!

He clapped his hands hard.

Assistant Coach Porter also hugged the other coaches. Although he had some prejudice against this player at first, now, after a goal... Doubts tended to disappear.

Denisov, who was sitting on the bench, also rushed out to cheer after seeing Chen Yingxiong score. He put his hand in his mouth and whistled hard towards the field. "This goal was so fucking beautiful--!!"

His roommate, the second member of the St. Petersburg Zenit Food, Drink and Fun Group, performed well, so as the group leader he naturally felt proud.

…

Back outside at the centre circle, waiting for the game to resume, Chen Yingxiong could still hear the cheers from the stands lingering in his ears.

This feels great!

I love this feeling, and this is the path I want to pursue.

My road, extending from my feet, leads to... the opponent's goal! Leads to victory! Leads to the championship!

Who dares to stand in my way?

…

In the subsequent minutes, Zenit, having tasted the sweetness of this goal, simply gave up the idea of ​​passing the ball on the ground and focused on passing high balls.

Chen Yingxiong also demonstrated his heading ability in front of tens of thousands of fans and TV viewers.

A high pass came from the backcourt, he jumped high, got into position, and passed the ball accurately to Kerzakov, giving him a chance to shoot.

Arshavin broke through the wing again and made a cross. Chen Yingxiong jumped up and headed the ball! The ball was slightly higher than the crossbar, and a huge sigh came from the stands.

Arshavin was even tripped during a breakthrough, giving Zenit a free kick on the front side. Chen Yingxiong stood in front of the goal and raised his arms high - pass the ball to me!

The football was passed, and Chen Yingxiong did something amazing on the spot!

"He jumps so high!" someone in the stands exclaimed.

Headshot!

The football went straight to the front goalpost and was about to go in. Some fans were already cheering impatiently.

But at this moment, the goalkeeper of Sparta Nalchik flew over and dragged the football out with one hand!

"It was a close call! Hero No. 99 almost scored again! His header was so powerful! The defenders of Spartak Nalchik could not compete with him at all!" Sergeyevsky exclaimed.

…

"He's 1.92 meters tall, which is not rare among forwards. But with such height, excellent jumping ability, and a strong body that ordinary defenders can't squeeze, being so good at heading... there are only a few! Really few! Where did Zenit St. Petersburg pick up such a treasure?"

Popovich was sitting in front of the TV, and after hearing what commentator Sergeyevsky said, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

We didn't pick up this treasure, It came on its own!

He recalled the scene when Chen Yingxiong and his father were brought to the Zenit training ground by Panchenko.

When I first saw him, I didn't expect him to have such ability. Popovich was actually still a bit angry that his team was beaten so badly by one person.

The scene of Chen Yingxiong competing against the Zenit youth team was still vivid in his mind.

Five people, none of them could stop him. He was just like a brown bear in the Siberian jungle! He was extremely powerful, and once he got angry, he would knock anyone away.

Now thinking back, it was not unfair at all that his youth team lost.

So, Nalchisparta, you don't have to feel wronged!
